Hello all,

I'm trying to write an opensource OpenId (Relying Party) library for an 
opensource php framework called kohana.
I've been following the Janrain php library because it seemed the most 
comprehensive and full featured but I was wondering if there were other 
libraries out there that are as complete as the Janrain library but 
possibly a little cleaner? The focus with the Janrain library seems to 
have been to cover as many use senarios as possible and to include 
everything needed including session handling - but this has meant that 
the codebase is not at all transparent. As a programmer/web-developer 
picking apart other libraries is often the best way to get an 
understanding of how to write code to handle certain tasks. I've looked 
at just about all of the libraries listed on the openid.net wiki but 
have not as yet found one that is both feature complete and clean and 
clearly coded.

Any suggestions of any helpfull resouces would be much appreciated!

James
